And if you would ask if they fell off or if Jay fell off worse, your answer would be that Jay hasn't fell off worse because they weren't ever on.
*sniffs* something.....something don't smell right. Real nikkas know what it is. There are certain topics and things that hit a vein or strike a nerve. People say it all the time, Jay crafted theme songs and soundtracks to what real nikkas were living. You didn't and don't have to be a hustler or a drug dealer or drive a maybach for some of his lyrics to strike that chord within you. Em is different. He reps Detroit but the way he reps Detroit again is like he just lives there and grew up there. Jay is Marcy, Marcy is in Jay.
Em is like the Darius Rucker of Hip hop, he's good, he's talented, he's respected but he isn't allowed in the backrooms. Because he lacks authenticity he can't be compared with someone who is real. Someone who is rooted in realness and has it in their veins. Now if you want to compare him to Drake, go ahead that is more fitting.
Jay has lines, lyrics and songs that just resonate with nikkas. Em has some general crossover points. Anyone can rap about being poor or hungry, wet, cold. But that shyt that seeps into your soul which is what music should do he doesn't have. Maybe its a black and white thing, I hate to say it but maybe it is what it is. Think of Jay's line
"They like the drunk uncle in your family
You know they lame, you feel ashamed
But you love 'em the same"
I think white, black, mexican, chinese- we all may have drunk uncles, but within context I don't think we're talking about the same uncle---does that make sense? You hear that line and look at your nikkas like "You know what it is" If you were to hear that line with a mexican and a white dude I dont think you could look at them as a black dude and you guys all nod like "yep...yup.....you know what he's talking about"
I smell bs.
